Police end River Dee search for missing Aberdeen sisters
Officers say searches elsewhere will continue
Last updated 27th Jan 2025
Police searches of the River Dee for missing sisters Eliza and Henrietta Huszti have concluded, but that other areas will continue to be looked at.
The 32-year-old identical twins were last seen on Market Street at the Victoria Bridge area in Aberdeen in the early morning of January.
Police say coastal areas north and south of Aberdeen will continue to be searched.
Officers had already revealed Eliza and Henrietta Huszti sent a phone message at 2.12am on January 7 from their last known location to their landlady, notifying her they would not be coming back.
The phone was then disconnected from the network and has not been active since.
Police believe the 32-year-olds then crossed the bridge and turned right onto a footpath next to the River Dee heading towards Aberdeen Boat Club.
Sisters visited last known location day before disappearance
Police have also revealed the sisters, part of triplets, visited the scene of their last known whereabouts the day before vanishing.
The women were seen at Victoria Bridge around 2.50pm on January 6.
CCTV shows Eliza and Henrietta, who were both earing rucksacks, spent five minutes at the footpath and the bridge but did not speak to or meet anyone else.
Police are appealing for information from anyone who may have seen the sisters at that time.
After visiting the bridge, the pair are then seen on CCTV making their way through the city centre, via the Union Square shopping centre, back to their flat in the Charlotte Street area of Aberdeen.
There is nothing to indicate that Eliza or Henrietta left their flat again until shortly before they were last seen at the River Dee in the early hours.
Eliza and Henrietta are both described as white and of slim build with long, brown hair.
